The IDF reported this morning, September 27th, 2025, that over 750,000 Palestinians have evacuated Gaza City to the Strip's south as the military intensifies its offensive against Hamas. This figure represents a significant portion of the approximately one million residents estimated to have been in Gaza City before the current offensive, according to the IDF. IDF Arabic-language spokesman Col. Avichay Adraee stated that Gaza City is emptying as residents realize the military operation is escalating and that moving south is for their safety. He urged civilians to move to the humanitarian area in al-Mawasi as soon as possible, noting that more than 750,000 residents have already left in recent days and weeks for their safety. The rate of evacuation has risen in the past week as Israeli forces advance deeper into Gaza City. These developments follow reports from earlier this morning detailing widespread Israeli strikes in Gaza. Hospital sources speaking to Al Jazeera reported that 51 Palestinians were killed in Israeli attacks in Gaza since dawn on September 27th. Previously, during the reporting window that began at 10:05 AM UTC, four Palestinians were reported killed in an Israeli drone attack in the Nuseirat refugee camp, according to a source at al-Awda Hospital speaking to Al Jazeera. A Hamas official also stated during the previous reporting period that the organization had not received any new ceasefire proposals.
